My wife wishes a happy Commitment Day to all who are celebrating (or already have).
Statuses
Mike Carson bought Friendster for $30KM – Boing Boing
Carson’s pitch is a social network that doesn’t work without face-to-face contact. To add someone as a friend on the new Friendster iOS app, the two of you have to physically tap your phones together.
A truly social network. Fascinating. May have to give it a spin (and find a friend who wants to as well).
Part of my Circus Rigging duties include “spotting”, which in many cases means simply making sure that if a performer does fall, they do so safely and land on a mat.
Here I am spotting Beatrix on Static Trapeze last night.
We decorated the car for Beatrix on her last day of classes today.
The same is true of us all.
Community Letter from Tim – Apple
This is not goodbye. But at this moment of transition, I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you. Not on behalf of the company, this time, though there is a wellspring of gratitude for you that overflows inside our walls. But simply on behalf of me. Tim. A person who grew up in a rural place in a different time and, for these magical moments, got to be the CEO of the greatest company in the world.
Big news at Apple.
Mac Power Users #845: Intentional Technology with Patrick Rhone – Relay
Patrick Rhone returns. The gang discusses Apple Silicon rewriting the Mac upgrade cycle, the Apple Refurb Store, and minimalist phones.
It was an honor to be on with my old friend David Sparks and new friend Stephen Robles. It’s been a while since I’ve talked tech on a podcast and I hope it came out OK.
A little surreal to remember that this was almost two years ago. The first of our official tour of colleges. Now, we are making preparations for her to attend in the fall.
Life is strange.

This is important.

No use crying over what could have been… But, jeepers, what a lost opportunity.
